Mile Rock Beach-201711047 by Charles Martorelli, on Flickr
Another hand painted rock, 'hidden' with the intent to be found and shared.
This one was high up enough from eye level to be missed.

Another from the Pompeii Exhibit at the Arizona Science Center
_DSC5864Just my opinion but i think thats the best of your 'Brean bunch' Thats a really nice shot, not sure what but something really works in that one for me. Well done.
And now for something completely different .......
It's a fish egg , probably 2-3 days old . Taken with a 7D connected to a 1950-1960's vintage Unitron microscope via a Pentax M42 camera/microscope adapter and an eBay M42 to EOS adapter .5X eyepiece and 4X objective (20X total) . Shutter control via Canon's EOS Utility . ISO 800 , shutter speed 1/180 , aperture controlled via the microscope's substage iris .B/W conversion in ACR , cut down the red and orange channels saturation to bump up the detail of the small 'veins' around the embryo . You can seee the start of a spine arcing over the central blob .
Hey... it's snowing big time , there's nothing worth watching on TV , so gotta keep busy somehow .

Thanks. Funny isn't it. I wasn't really happy with this shot so nearly didn't post it.
I preferred the lone tree and the driftwood on the beach.
Nice.

Makes me feel cold just looking at it.

I like it. I'd like to see more of the steel work on the left. Looks interesting.
I'm getting better, I think, at these long-exposures. Got to two beaches yesterday that I'd been itching to visit for some LE's for ages now. Already had my shots in mind, went straight to where I imagined, fine-tuned my framings and POV's, took an exposure at 1/250th to verify my metering was accurate with the old LunaSix, then grabbed a 4.5 minute exposure at both locations. Job done in both cases with the first shot!
I probably could have spent ages at each location exploring other things, but my head was in the LE frame of mind and I didn't want to shift that focus. I'll be going back to both spots for some sunset shots in a while.
All in all, I only took 23 images visiting four locations. I had strict ideas already in mind for each venue and stuck to those, having already been to each before and investigated them thoroughly in the past.
Anyway, here is exhibit A.
Canon 6D, Canon 24-105mm f/4 L, Formatt-Hitech Firecrest 16 Stop ND Filter, Manual/Bulb Mode, LunaSix Incident Metering
ISO 100, 24mm, f/11, 4.5 Minutes

It was created specifically for an exhibition I'm applying for, as part of a rather well known photographic festival event here that I'm hoping for a spot in.
Good luck with it.It was created specifically for an exhibition I'm applying for, as part of a rather well known photographic festival event here that I'm hoping for a spot in.
Ocean KayakAt this point my camera stopped taking bracketed photos, so I went with silhouettes. I don't know why it refused to take them, and it started working again later in the evening.

Cheers AFB. Here's something from a few yards away that gives a better perspective. Comments always appreciated.
